People broadly broadcasting their religious philosophy bother me as much as 15,000 young hormone raging men with fully automatic firearms and full basic load - not at all. But I wouldn't vote to make anyone President that put his relationship with God or his sexual partners in public view... I need leadership that I don't laugh at, and that I trust. Jimmy Carter forgave the Vietnam War resisters, boycotted the Moscow Olympics and didn't rescue the Iranian hostages, no matter the cost.

Huckabee lost me with his RINO policies long ago, but he REALLY lost me when he said he wanted to "bring the Constitution in line with Biblical standards". Apparently he meant that was why he wanted to support a marriage amendment and an amendment banning abortion and nothing else... but that's a pretty damn big "only" and he only went on to explain why he thought we should amend the Constitution because that was "in the Bible".

Well I really dislike Carter and Huckabee too but why was it a bad thing that we gave away the Panama Canal? Pretty generous of us. Panama is an ally and even if it weren't, I think we could give it to them so long as they never operate is well and never refused us access.

American business interests fabricated the revolution that created Panama. Yeah, so we made a treaty (here: http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/diplomacy/panama/pan001.htm ), but that doesn't change that fact that we started an unrighteous war for it.
